Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.

It seems from the history that your six year old son is having refractive error in the form of hypermetropia with astigmatism. This requires treatment by the use of glasses.
If he is not comfortable he needs to undergo refraction testing preferably under cycloplegia to find out the refraction reading and correction accordingly.

Thank you
